Art thou weary, art thou languid

Meter: 8.5.8.3 Appears in 653 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distress'd? “Come to Me,” saith One, “and coming, Be at rest!” 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide? “In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side.” 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That His brow adorns? 6 “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns.” 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? “Many a sorrow, many a labour, Many a tear.” 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? “Sorrow vanquish'd, labour ended, Jordan pass'd” 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? “Not till earth, and not till Heaven Pass away.” 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? “Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,, Answer, Yes.” Topics: Miscellaneous

As o'er the past my memory strays

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As o'er the past my memory strays, Why heaves the secret sigh? 'Tis that I mourn departed days, Still unprepared to die. 2 The world and worldly things beloved, My anxious thoughts employ'd; And time unhallowed, unimproved, Presents a fearful void. 3 Yet, holy Father, wild despair Chase from my labouring breast; Thy grace it is which prompts the prayer, That grace can do the rest. 4 My life's brief remnant all be Thine; And when Thy sure decree Bids me this fleeting breath resign, O speed my soul to Thee.

As when the weary traveller gains

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveller gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains He sees his home, though distant still; 2 Thus, when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 The thought of home his spirit cheers; No more he grieves for troubles past; Nor any future trial fears, So he may save arrive at last. 4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay, To lead us on to thine abode; Assured our home will make amends For all our toil while on the road.

As with gladness men of old

Appears in 648 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offer'd gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesu, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransom'd souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from His piercèd Side; Praise we Him, whose love divine, Gives His sacred Blood for wine, Gives His Body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, Whose Blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky! Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquer'd in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened Paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do Thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in Thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen Lord, to Thee we raise; Holy Father, praise to Thee, With the Spirit, ever be.

O may I never read in vain, But find the path to heaven. 4 I hear Thy word with love, And I would fain obey: Send Thy good Spirit from above, To guide me, lest I stray. Topics: The Holy Scriptures

Brief life is here our portion

Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion, Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest. 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting, And passionless renown. But He Whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. 3 The morning shall awaken, And shadow shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day; There God, our King and portion, In fulness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The Home of Tod's elect! O sweet and blesséd country, That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Meter: Irregular Appears in 921 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
